The StaticHTMLExporter Task

The StaticHTMLExporter is a task that downloads HTML pages from a server and saves them as HTML files. It needs the following parameters:

server-uri: the server uri, e. g. http://authoring.yourdomain.com
server-port: the server port, e. g. 8080
publication-id: the publication id
export-path-prefix: the path to save the files to
uris: a comma-separated list of uris to download (without server + port)
substitute-regexp: a regular expression to substitute a part of the path

Usually, the path information is read from the [publication-directory]/config/publishing/publisher.xconf file:


<publication>
  ...
  <export>
    <destination href="work/export/pending"/>
    <substitution regexp="s/\/lenya\/unipublic//g"/>
  </export>
</publication>

You can override the paths in the task configuration file tasks.xconf, e. g. to use several publishers to publish into different directories:


<tasks>

  <task id="export-pending" class="org.apache.lenya.cms.publishing.StaticHTMLExporter">
    <parameter name="export-path" value="work/export/pending"/>
    <parameter name="substitute-regexp" value="s/\/lenya\/your-publication//g"/>
  </task>

  <task id="export-backup" class="org.apache.lenya.cms.publishing.StaticHTMLExporter">
    <parameter name="export-path" value="work/backup"/>
    <parameter name="substitute-regexp" value="s/\/lenya\/your-publication//g"/>
  </task>

</tasks>
